Jon,

There's a way to turn of TPMS on these cars... but you need a good tech to do it. I noticed the light is on, and it's something I've had to deal with on both my R230s.

Just an FYI.

Interior looks great, I'm also thinking of doing CF this winter on mine.

A tech at the local dealer here in Indy turned TPMS off in my 03, but they said they won't do it (can't by law) after the year it was federally mandated. I'm not sure what year it was.
